タイトル Induction of apoptosis by beta-carotene and dimethyl tetrasulfide assisted by UVA irradiation in HL-60 cells.
ジャーナル Biosci Biotechnol Biochem
Abstract Cellular phototoxicity induced by UVA irradiation and its potential application to therapy has been reported. In the present study, the induction of apoptosis induced by beta-carotene and dimethyl tetrasulfide (Me(2)S(4)) assisted by UVA irradiation in HL-60 cells was assessed. beta-carotene assisted by UVA significantly decreased the cell viability and induced DNA fragmentation in HL-60 cells. Me(2)S(4) combined with beta-carotene and assisted by UVA significantly inhibited the cell viability, and enhanced the caspase-3 activity which was completely inhibited by N-acety-L-cysteine. beta-carotene was significantly degraded by UVA, but this was not accelerated by Me(2)S(4) in a cell culture system. The photodegradation products of beta-carotene prepared by UVA irradiation regardless of the addition of Me(2)S(4) showed lower cytotoxicity than beta-carotene itself in HL-60 cells. These results suggest that the ROS- and caspase-3-dependent apoptosis induced by beta-carotene and Me(2)S(4) assisted by UVA was due to a synergistic action rather than to the sole effect of the photodegradation products of beta-carotene in HL-60 cells.
